The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

New Years Eve at Congress (part 1)

So 2008 has come and gone. Of course most of you probably heard about the big party that went down at Congress Theater. Justice, the crazy sensation from France, flew into town to headline the show and walk out with who knows how many thousands of dollars. The lineup was pretty solid and the show sold out. I was a bit hesitant to step foot anywhere near this place but figured it would be a good time... crazy-overload and all. Aside from a rough start with seemingly none of the staff knowing anything that was going on, the whiskeys began to flow and things got popping!

Willy Joy played before and after Home Video, who were followed by Hey Champ. DJs Peanut Butter Wolf and So Me took over and played up til midnight. In the other room, Skyler, Darkwave DJs and The Glamour got the party started.

For the most part I was running around like a mad man trying to get photos & video of everything and say hello to the endless amount of familiar faces.

These photos cover the first few hours. In the next update will be Justice and the rest of the party so stay tuned! Oh and there are also a bunch more photos over at iwas-there.com.
